The local newspaper, the Sandefjords Blad reported that people were driving on the course ignoring the barriers and that another had “thrown drawing pins into the cycle lane.” We have confirmed that at least some of the athletes competing in the super sprint race on Saturday morning (before the half-distance race) were pulled off the bike course after one of two loops because there were cars on the course The “barriers they had to block the road were plastic tape,” one supporter reported so cars were able to easily break through and get onto the course Triathlon Norway coach Arild Tveiten posted after the event expressing his disappointment with the events of the day: — Arild Tveiten (@ArildTveiten) August 24, 2024 forums and our own contact with athletes at the race the event appeared to have difficulties even before the middle-distance race was cancelled There were questions about the water quality and weather issues forced a change in the registration venue and the cancellation of the swim practice According to numerous reports there was limited signage around the event and the pre-race briefing was only in Norwegian This is a post from “catocumulus” from reddit: I was also going to participate in the race on Saturday I can confirm that the whole event felt badly managed The pre-race briefing left participants more confused than before about what type of nutrition was available (bottles or cups) if the water quality was good (the home page for the municipality had a “red light” warning for the day but it is not clear if this is from an actual water quality test or just a precaution put in place after heavy rain) if and where there would be placed carpets and generally quite chaotic briefing which was canceled mid race (or at least the bike) I talked to some of the participants and they told me it was almost no signs and/or guards in the streets They said that nobody rode the right way and it was a complete disaster I can confirm that the information to the participants standing in total for over an hour in our wet suits waiting to start was limited something like “We have to wait for green light from the police they need to take a final check of the course” was the information given before they told us it was cancelled there I talked to two people working in a bar who lives right outside the city they told me they accidentally ended up in the middle of the course on their way to work So it is clear that it at least is a combination of “sabotage” and understaffed/poorly managed and prepared event According to a later post on Facebook (see below) athletes have been given the opportunity to transfer their entry to selected events both this year and in 2025 but the 2025 Challenge Sandefjord event is not on that list Event organizers reported on Instagram yesterday that “Following extensive consultations with the police and the Norwegian Youth National Championship were held as scheduled yesterday at Challenge Sandefjord.” Get the digital edition of Triathlon for your chosen platform: After another dramatic weekend with two comeback wins, it was decided that four different nations will be represented in the EHF European Cup Men 2024/25 semi-finals Runar Sandefjord continue their impressive European Cup campaign The Norwegian side lost the first leg in Greece by six goals against last season’s finalists Olympiacos SFP their defence was nearly unbeatable in the return leg at home went in front by seven goals in the 38th minute They even managed to increase their lead to ten goals to win 33:23 at home It’s no news that a great goalkeeping performance can be vital in such close matchups in the knockout rounds Runar Sandefjord’s Mats Bjørnstad (20 saves) and HC Izvidad’s Haris Suljevic (18 saves) confirmed this once again over the weekend outperforming their counterparts by eleven and seven saves The only team seemingly not going with the trend were HC Alkaloid They comfortably beat CS Minaur Baia Mare by seven goals in the return leg with goalkeeper Ivan Galevski drawing the goalkeeper battle at nine saves between him and the Romanian side’s three goalkeepers You said no to using cookies or similar tools that help improve your experience.

Airport is an excellent new location for us to build and engineer while we retain our business unit in Bergen,” said Elfly founder and CEO Eric Lithun “It affords us plenty of space to grow for testing and also as we ramp up our team this year the airport’s dynamic management are very enthused by our plans to return seaplane travel to the fjords and lakes of Norway – and beyond Our goal is to fly the first Noemi prototype in 2026.” and website in this browser for the next time I comment the Hvalfangst Museet or Sandefjord Museum claims to be Europe's only museum that is solely devoted to the study of and education about whales and whaling Given the giant whale models on display and the real-life whaling ships you can explore it may at least be the only whaling museum that you ever need The museum was originally built back in 1917 marking Sandefjord's first ever museum building It was the brain child of one Lars Christensen who set out to educate the public of the day about the plant and animal life living in Antarctica and about the history of the whaling industry the museum has continued to grow and evolve while never losing sight of its mission to educate visitors about the great behemoths of the sea Today the museum has a number of unique attractions that let visitors get a glimpse of the interaction of humans and whales Inside the museum there are exhibits that track the history of the whaling industry focusing on Norwegian whaling in particular but spanning all of the oceans of the globe There is also a zoological portion of the museum that features recreations of many of the common animals from the Arctic and Antarctic regions there is a full-size recreation of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling of one of the galleries Outside of the main museum building there is also the Southern Actor a 1950s whaling vessel that is still in working order although it is no longer used for whaling.  Whaling as an industry might be an unfortunate blight on our relationship with the oceans but it has an interesting history nonetheless Possibly as a testament to how fascinating we find the giants of the sea in general.  this whale skeleton has been

KIJOK plays for the Zielona Góra (means Green Berg in English) Table Tennis Club a team that was promoted to the top league in Poland just a couple of weeks ago. She played for top tier Bundeliga clubs such as TuS Bad Driburg and she has played table tennis for 38 years. Table tennis is such an important part of her life so besides her job as a physioterapist table tennis occupies the rest of her time. Emilia KIJOK has started well in Sandefjord as well winning all her matches in Singles losing only one set and in Doubles with her friend Dorota BORKOWSKA also from Poland. KIJOK has prepared very well for the Championships and has also focused on the mental part of training. Her ambitions are nothing less than winning. With her focus and dedication and support from the big polish crowd in Sandefjord that might very well happen.
